Biden says he expects Americans to begin to exit besieged Gaza

President Joe Biden said he expects U.S. citizens to leave the war-torn Gaza Strip beginning on Wednesday.

Palestinians wounded in the Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip are brought to a treatment room of al Aqsa Hospital in Deir al Balah on Tuesday, Oct. 31, 2023. President Joe Biden said he expects U.S. citizens, as well as Palestinians and foreign nationals, to leave the war-torn Gaza Strip beginning on Wednesday.

"Today, thanks to American leadership, we secured safe passage for wounded Palestinians and for foreign nationals to exit Gaza," the president noted on X, which is the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. "We expect American citizens to exit today, and we expect to see more depart over the coming days. We won't let up working to get Americans out of Gaza."

Earlier on Wednesday, the Palestinian crossing authority said more than 400 foreign passport holders would be permitted to leave for Egypt, as would some wounded people. Egypt has said it will not accept an influx of Palestinian refugees because of fears Israel will not allow them to return to Gaza after the war.
